Good morning and welcome. Today we explore the profound connection between the sabbatical year and Mount Sinai. The laws of the sabbatical year remind us that all mitzvahs, including the intricate details of this observance, originate from Sinai. This divine instruction emphasizes communal responsibility, urging us to treat the land, and its produce, as public property during the sabbatical year. The challenge is immense; relinquishing ownership and trusting in God's provision requires faith that transcends logic.

As we enter the jubilee year, we recognize it as a time of liberation. It embodies freedom for all, a return to one's heritage and a reminder that no one truly owns the land—it belongs to God. The Torah guides us in fair transactions, urging us to consider the time left until the jubilee when buying land. We learn that verbal and financial wrongs are equally concerning. Observing these mitzvahs ensures peace and security in our land.
